Cooling Ducts...I hate them and they hate me!

Post by Captain »

Everyone,

I was planning to repair my cooling ducts this winter, but after looking closer at them it would probably be best to start from scratch. Between them flying off, being dropped, and generally poorly attached (fastners into glass doesn't work!) I've had it!

So....

Are they actually necessary? I see a lot of cars running without them.

And/Or is there some place that makes a 1/2 decent set? Tried looking at the dune buggy sites but had no luck.

Thanks
Jim

If you can better define what kind of FV you have and what you looking to solve, you very likely will find someone on this board that has parts that can help you.

Its a homebuilt car.

Here is a pic of it. With no pods...it was a cool day, and a short time trial.

I had a Lynx with the Elite body work like yours,I used the older style Citation inner shrouds and the small BRP scoops Bob Lybarger can set you up give him a call.

No, those look like older Lynx B type scoops.
